Get User Group in Swift using AWS Cognito

Question

I've implemented Amazon Cognito login on an iOS app in Swift.

However I'm now trying to find out the groups that a logged in user belongs to.

The SDK doesn't seem to provide a way of doing so from what I can see.

I can't seem to find a good way of doing this from within the app.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

The groups are exposed in the ID token issued to the user. 

It is populated in claim "cognito:groups".
